I could not have put it better than this note from the trading desk at a leading London broker, which I have just been sent. I am sorry that I cannot include the chart referred to but you can guess what it looks like. The report states:
Gold has had a quiet year thus far. Despite the prospect of more money printing by the world’s central banks, and minuscule interest rates, it seems that not many people see inflation as a big threat at the moment.
But things can change quickly in the financial world.

AIM and ASX listed gold miner Norseman Gold (NGL) may change its management but its traditional contempt for UK private investors is a habit it seems to find harder to kick. And so having done the rounds of press meetings etc last week and created glowing copy and heavy private investor buying, comes news that it is raising A$12 million (£7.9 million) in a placing with institutional investors at c2.7p. For those penny share punters who bought at 3.5p after the puff this must come as a blow. How would John Terry put it? Norseman Gold are a bunch of “fucking knobheads.”
That might be a bit harsh but had I bought in the market yesterday I think I would have felt pretty cheesed off. I feel a bit cheesed off myself for believng that this time it would be different with Norseman. But does that make Norseman a sell? No.
